After going viral on music.ly (now Tik Tok), Malu Trevejo has made the full transition from internet sensation to a bilingual queen of pop. In 2018, she released a handful of singles, including “Nadie Como Yo,” a collaboration with multi-Latin Grammy Winners Gente de Zona, and is now ready for the world to hear what she has been working on. Earlier this month, she released her debut EP Una Vez Mas, a collection of tracks that are fun, romantic, and perfect to enjoy for the rest of the summer heat.
